Chandrayaan 2 is the second mission to the moon developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) after Chandrayaan 1. Chandrayaan 2 is an indigenous mission which includes an orbiter, a lander and a rover. The mission has planned to be launched to the moon by a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III.

The rover is six-wheeled, which will move around the landing site on the lunar surface in a semi-autonomous mode as per the instructions from ground commands.

The instruments on the rover will remark the lunar surface and send back data. This will be useful for analysis of the lunar soil. The Chandrayaan 2 is 3,290 kg, which will orbit the Moon and perform the objectives of remote sensing it.
